 Their 'true self,' which they refer to as their '[[core|Core]],' is a being of light-based divine energy. Even in their own language, there are no words to completely physically describe it. To the mortal eye, it shifts in appearance from moment to moment and between angles, even when viewed through photographs and video recordings. It does have some known features, however, such as an abundance of eyes and tentacles. Some of these tentacles are capable of reaching out through the Shell's back to interact with things directly.
+===== Gender =====
+Cendarii are a genderless society, in the sense that they do not express gender as a culture. While they do have male and female Shells, they see no functional difference between them (and the physical differences are minimal). Their own language lacks gendered pronouns entirely. They also lack gendered clothes, names, or styles, and it's not uncommon to see Cendarii men wearing clothes that Terrans might traditionally consider feminine.
+It's a common misconception that all Cendarii are women, but roughly one out of every ten batches of Shells are made male. This was originally considered a fluke or a glitch, but no attempt was ever made to 'fix' this, as the Shells were perfectly functional.
+Terrans regularly mistake Cendarii men for women, something they find amusing more than anything. Though, they will still politely correct the error for the sake of accuracy.
